The Giant Pheeples

 

I would like to introduce you all to someone quite special...

 

Minty The Giant Pheeple

 

 

The Pheeples are notorious for being inquisitive, but this takes the biscuit!

Some of them were feeling particularly nosey and wandered into old Professor Bucket's laboratory..
They poked telescopes and sniffed petri dishes..

Then one of them found the Top Secret "Calculated Unstabilising Trans-matter Expander Ray" (Or 'Cuter' for short).
One of the cleverer Pheeples deduced that this was a posh way of saying 'Laser gun that makes small things big'.

They all drew straws for who would go first - They literally drew pictures of straws, the most detailed and cool looking the straw, the less chance of going first.

Poor ol' Minty didn't have much of an artistic talent and had to go first.
He shuffled forward, nervous and intrigued - then suddenly, just as he turned to glance at the group one last time... *KABLLLOOWWW!! ZAPPP!! and ZOOOOP!!*

After the smoke had cleared, Minty was revealed to be twice as big as the tallest Pheeple!
He let out a (ever so slightly deeper sounding) chuckle, and then everyone wanted to have a go.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(I would like to give a MASSIVE thank you to Lewis for writing up the Pheeple's adventures for me!

You are amazing!)

Time...

 

 

Yet again, time has sped away from me, and I have no idea where it's gone, how it managed to sneak past me or what I've even accomplished during this mini whirlwind!

 

Unfortunately my poor little blog has been put aside as the Pheeples become more and more insistent that their army needs to grow.

I love felting to bits, but it does take up a lot of my world.

:)

 

So when I read this blog post this morning by kelly anne, I felt time suddenly slow down a bit,

and it felt amazing!

I went for a walk, just a little one to the shops and back, popped into the post office, watched people passing me on the pavement, and then I popped into the little charity shop.

 

There's something about a charity shop.

Because I never go in there with an aim of buying anything in particular, time slows down even more, and I end up just dawdling around the shelves, making sure I get a look at everything.

And there's so many wonderful things to see!

There was a lovely basket of balls of wool that I had to force myself not to rummage through

 

"for myself" I had to tell myself.

 

This was going to be about me, and nothing to do with my work - even though we are pretty much the same, there is a bit of me that isn't felt  ;)

 

There was a box of old records, some lovely little ornaments I was nearly tempted by. There was a stunning, tiny little wooden horse and a little ceramic lama.

I had a go at an old looking music box, but it didn't work sadly.

And then I found the book shelf.

 

:)

 

I never get time to read any more.

I can't felt and read at the same time.

I can felt and watch films at the same time though, so I fill my head with stories from my Poirot DVD collection and anime.

:)

 

Today however, I decided to treat myself to a little book.

maybe not a story, but something I can dip into every now and again when the Pheeples give me a lunch break.

 

 

...Ok, so maybe I treated myself to 2 books!

 

:)

 

 

This one I couldn't resist!

As soon as I started scanning the page, I knew it'd make me giggle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

and this one just sparked my curiosity.

It's a whole book of Q&As

for example:

 

"Q. Does cold iron contain heat?

A. Yes: every thing contains heat; but, when a thing feels cold, its heat is latent."

(pg 99)

 

Learn something new every day? - I intend to!

 

and it has that luuurvely old book smell!

 

 

I feel quite ready to hop back into my world now

:)

 

But I do advise it, try and slow down time if you can, even if it's only for a little while.

 

 

 

Right....

now back to the Pheeples, I can hear them moaning about something or other.

They've probably run out of cake!

 

:)

And The Winner Is....

Wow!

What a response to my giveaway over these last 2 weeks!

You guys are so awesome!

And so many lovely designs!

I wish I could turn them all into little felted Pheeple!

I had a little help from one of the Pheeples for the name draw,

and mum was nominated to close her eyes and pick a name from the box!

Thanks mum!

:)

Pheeple judicator checking my spelling

The Pheeple judicator then checking that all of the names are in the box

Wednesday,

There's something in the air at the moment I think.

Something really creative and motivating.

It's probably related to the Olympics somehow,

but I love it!

:)

I've found myself reading more blogs recently and listening to music I'd never heard of before.

I saw this on one blog and fell in love

Me and Lewis went for a walk last night with Hamish

and I felt even more inspired!

Do you ever find that you get so wrapped up in your little world and all of the little things in your world that are important,

that just sometimes

you really forget how lucky you are?

I've completely forgotten that I live in such a beautiful place!



*promise to self - take photos more and love my little world!*

So, is anyone else enjoying the Olympics?

I can't believe how in to it I am,

I really didn't see this coming, but now I'm itching to get myself down to London!

:)

C'mon GB!

Monday!

Hello Monday!

Where on earth did you come from?

It hasn't been a terrible day...

... if I ignore the train issues this morning.

I really do need to grow my driving confidence to do the Guildford to Reading commute!

Eap, I can't help it, I'm a bit of a scaredy cat!

:(

But all came right when I (finally) got to work!

Loooooook!

Biccy the Iced Gem Wookie from the amazing

kittypinkstars!

:)

Eeeey, I love him!

AND he came with a packet of iced gems! mmmmm

:)

Now I am happy

:)

In Pheeple news...

have you seen the newest Pheeple?

They were all having a lovely time last week, playing nicely with each other (for a change!)

and then one sneaky one found the dressing up box!

You should have seen some of the costumes!

One Pheeple found a massive wig that covered his eyes, so of course he didn't see the pair of Pheeples that decided to dress up as a horse whilst he was running over to show me!

There were horse bits and tufts of wig everywhere!

And this little lady found these cat ears, tail and a little pink nose.

She liked them so much that I haven't been able to get her to give them back yet.

She does look quite cute though!

:)

She's now up for adoption in my Etsy shop here:

kitty cat felt pheeple

But she does insist that she is allowed to take her new costume with her!

Now I have to go and make them ALL cups of tea apparently!

I think I'll treat myself to one too though.

:)

I hope you all had a lovely weekend

and are having a great day today!

Thursday!

Heyloooo!

I don't know what's wrong with me at the moment!

I'm really sorry folks, I just feel so darn sleepy all of the time at the mo,

and coffee just seems to make me worse!

Weird!

I am sorry I haven't been about

I have been busy!

Honest!

:)

I took the Pheeple's to their very first craft fair last weekend (23rd June)

and it was so much fun!

There were so many lovely stalls and the whole atmosphere was lovely!

:)

The craft fair was run by vintagepixie, and it was just a perfect gathering of crafty/vintagey people!

I met some fantastic crafters and other stall holders.

natalialovatjewellery was the stall next to mine, and within the first hour or so I'd fallen in love with one of her beautiful pieces of jewellery!

*puts on my birthday list*

:)

I've got all of the other photos on my facebook page here if you would like to take a look:

The Pheeples

Ooof, I am feel oober sleepy!

I think I might end up falling asleep on the train again tonight

:/

Eap!

Keep an eye out for me in Redhill if sleep through my stop!

:)

lol

I hope you're all well!

I will be on here more, bugging you with randomness when I'm more awake!

:)
